This thoughtfully crafted Google Slides lesson is tailored to address a crucial misconception surrounding mitosis. It's a game-changer for students grappling with the dual meaning of the term "chromosome". By shedding light on the origin of the name and providing hands-on practice, students gain a crystal-clear understanding of both replicated and unreplicated chromosomes. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for a deeper comprehension of mitosis and meiosis.
The lesson seamlessly transitions to a standard yet crucial mitosis stage practice. It provides students with the opportunity to reinforce their understanding and hone their skills.
With this comprehensive lesson, educators can equip their students with the tools they need for a thorough grasp of mitosis. By addressing misconceptions and offering targeted practice, this lesson is a valuable addition to any biology curriculum.
Elevate your teaching approach to mitosis with this clarifying lesson. Order now and set your students on the path to success in cellular biology!
Grade & Course Recommendation:
Middle School: Great for Grade 8 students learning cell division for the first time.
High School: Useful review or reinforcement for Grade 9 Biology or Intro to Life Science.
Cross-Curricular Connections:
ELA Integration: Students write explanations correcting visual or conceptual errors.
Art Integration: Visual diagrams- allow students to color-code or annotate to clarify understanding.
Daily slide + literacy - based exit ticket included with purchase

NGSS
HS-LS1-4: Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis and meiosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
NGSS
HS-LS1-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which carry out the essential functions of life. (connection: accurate chromosome replication during mitosis ensures correct genetic instructions)
NGSS
Science & Engineering Practices: Developing and using models; Constructing explanations.
NGSS
Crosscutting Concepts: Structure and function; Systems and system models.
Common Core Alignment
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.4 / RST.11-12.4: Interpret scientific vocabulary related to cell division.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.9-12.2: Write explanatory texts detailing each phase of mitosis or correcting misconceptions.
